Chapter 303 He's only special to Yu Wan
Su Qingchan felt a surge of anxiety and called out urgently, "Lord Yun!"
Yun Shang paused slightly, then slowly turned around, his cool gaze falling on Su Qingchan's tear-streaked and anxious face.
She looked disheveled, her hair clinging messily to her swollen cheeks, her eyes filled with vulnerability and helplessness.
Seeing her like this, any man would probably feel sorry for her.
But Yun Shang was an exception.
His gaze was like the still water of a cold pool, without any ripples, as he quietly scrutinized Su Qingchan, showing no intention whatsoever of helping her up.
Su Qingchan knew that Yun Shang had a cold personality, but she did not expect that he would remain indifferent when he saw her injured.
Rationally, she knew that Yun Shang's actions were not inappropriate; on the contrary, they were in accordance with etiquette.
Emotionally, however, she could not accept that Yun Shang was truly so cold to her.
Her appearance isn't much different from Yu Wan's, is it?
Why does Yun Shang seem unable to see her?
She bit her lower lip, suppressing her grievances and dizziness, and raised her head slightly, her eyes filled with expectation and pleading, "Lord Yun, the ground is so cold... Could you help me up first?"
As she spoke, she tried to sit up, but her body was too weak and she stumbled.
She's so pitiful, Lord Yun certainly won't remain indifferent any longer...
Yun Shang didn't move, standing still, his voice cold and clear, "If Miss Su can't stand up, don't force yourself. I'll find someone to help you."
Su Qingchan was surprised that even though she had clearly told Yun Shang what to do, he was still so indifferent to her, and she felt a pang of bitterness in her heart.
Looking at Yun Shang, a wave of bitterness washed over her, almost bringing tears to her eyes.
"Lord Yun, there's no need to trouble others, Qingchan..."
Before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted by a burst of noisy footsteps.
It turned out that a few people dressed as patrol officers happened to be passing by the alley entrance.
They immediately recognized Yun Shang's official robes, a symbol of his status, and straightened their backs, bowing respectfully.
"Lord Yun."
Yun Shang nodded slightly and pointed to Su Qingchan on the ground, "Please trouble you to take this young lady to Huichuntang, she is injured."
Upon receiving the order, several guards immediately stepped forward to help Su Qingchan up.
Su Qingchan felt weak all over and full of grievances. With her arms supported, she couldn't help but look at Yun Shang again, her eyes filled with disappointment, resentment and a hint of unspeakable bitterness.
Yun Shang didn't look at her again.
If Yu Wan hadn't cared so much about the Su family's affairs, he wouldn't have bothered with this.
The guard was about to leave with Su Qingchan when, as he was being led around, Su Qingchan spoke again, unwilling to give up, "Lord Yun, I... could you accompany me to the clinic?"
Yun Shang raised his eyes, his gaze sweeping over her, and said in a cold tone, "Sorry, I have official business to attend to."
After he finished speaking, he turned and left without lingering for a moment.
Su Qingchan stared blankly at his retreating figure, tears welling up in her eyes.
Seeing her appearance, the guards understood perfectly. One of them kindly reminded her, "Miss, Lord Yun is already married. He married the eldest daughter of the Duke of Anguo's family. I heard that the young couple is deeply in love. Judging from Lord Yun's behavior, he doesn't seem like the type to take a concubine."
Having her thoughts so bluntly exposed, Su Qingchan felt a wave of heat rush to her cheeks and stood frozen on the spot.
I wish the ground would crack open beneath my feet so I could disappear into it.
But at the same time, the guard's words were like a sharp dagger, piercing straight into her heart.
It completely shattered the secret fantasies in her heart.
Yes, Lord Yun is already married and values Yu Wan highly.
So far, she had only ever seen Yun Shang show such a gentle expression on Yu Wan's face. Towards other women, he was always aloof and indifferent, as if none of them were worthy of his attention.
But she still fell deeply in love with him.
……
Yun Shang returned to the Yun residence a quarter of an hour later, and Yu Wan followed closely behind, taking a shortcut through the side gate.
It's almost payday, and she went to Yu's shop today to settle her accounts.
It was mealtime, and the two met in the corridor leading to the dining hall, one entering through the front door and the other through the side door.
Upon seeing Yu Wan, Yun Shang's cool and aloof expression softened instantly.
He quickened his pace, stood before Yu Wan, his gaze falling on her slightly red nose, and frowned slightly.
"Are you cold?"
Yu Wan sniffed and shook her head with a smile, "I'm not cold, it's just that the wind is too strong and it's a bit chilly."
She was wearing a lot of clothes today and had a hand warmer in her hand, so she definitely wasn't cold.
Yun Shang's furrowed brows did not relax.
He reached out and took off his cloak, draping it over Yu Wan. Then, without waiting for Yu Wan to say anything, he pulled her up and quickened his pace toward the dining hall.
As he held her hand, a constant stream of warmth emanated from her palm, making Yu Wan smile even more brightly.
With Yunshang as her heater, why would she need a hand warmer?
Inside the dining hall, Madam Shen and Yunxi were already seated.
The stove was burning inside, making it warm and cozy; I didn't feel cold at all.
As soon as Yun Shang stepped into the room, she instructed the maid beside her, "Go and have the kitchen make some ginger soup."
Hearing the commotion, Shen and Yunxi turned around and saw Yunshang and Yuwan coming over together. They exchanged a glance and smiled knowingly.
Yunxi whispered in Shen's ear, "Mother, my brother's cloak is being worn by my sister-in-law."
Shen naturally saw it.
She couldn't hide her joy and waved to Yu Wan, "Yu Niang, come over and warm yourself up."
Seeing her son and daughter-in-law becoming more and more affectionate, she felt that nothing could be better than this.
Oh, no, there should be one more thing.
She'd be laughing in her sleep if the young couple could have another baby in their family.
Thinking of this, Madam Shen couldn't help but glare fiercely at Yun Shang.
My son is such a disappointment. He's been married for so long and there's still no sign of a child.
Could it be that her son has some kind of problem in that area?
Thinking of this, Shen's heart skipped a beat.
The more I think about it, the more possible it becomes.
Her son has always been cold-hearted. Even the most vigorous young men, no matter how much they try to restrain themselves, will still have some desire for women, but her son has been indifferent to women since he was a child.
Previously in Shijia Village, many pretty girls had expressed their love for him, but he remained unmoved, just like a heartless, stinking rock.
Could her son really have a problem in that area?
The more Shen thought about it, the colder her heart became.
The look in his eyes as he looked at Yun Shang also carried a hint of pity.
Shen's gaze made Yun Shang's brow twitch.
Although he didn't know what Shen was thinking, judging from the look in her eyes, it certainly wasn't anything good.
Sure enough, after finishing his meal, Yun Shang sat down in the study for a short while when Madam Shen knocked on the door with a bowl of dark, murky medicine.
Yun Shang lifted his gaze from the book and placed it on the bowl of medicine, his eyes full of doubt.
"Mom, what is this?"
After entering the study, Madam Shen first stood at the door and looked around, then closed the door carefully, as if afraid of being seen.
Yun Shang was bewildered by Shen's series of thieving actions and couldn't help but ask, "Mother, what are you doing...?"
Madam Shen carried the medicine to the table, looked at Yun Shang with a mixture of heartache and expectation in her eyes, "Shang'er, this is a tonic that I specially found for you."
"A highly nourishing medicine!"
